Shaya found her mate at her best friend, Taryn's, mating ceremony and she waits all night for him to claim her. She is devastated when he leaves the celebration without even saying a word. She know that being a submissive wolf is a problem for him since he is an Alpha but he could have at least talked to her about it but instead he makes her life miserable. He doesn't want her but makes it clear no one else can have her. Hurt and tired from the constant rejection she leaves her pack with a plan that keep Nick from finding her even though she is sure he won't even try.

Nick can't believe Shaya ran from him and although her pack won't tell him her where she is, he will find her and when he does she will never run again. That is once he convinces her he is in it for the forever and not just to make her life miserable.

I have to say the out of the whole series I think that Shaya is my favorite character because she maybe a submissive but she has the heart and courage of an Alpha. As for Nick, I know his heart was in the right place and the he really wants his mate but he should never have put her through all that emotional torture to begin with so he deserved the baseball bat to the head. The character that you love to hate in Carnal Secrets is Amber and boy will you hate the two faced bitch from hell, who should have her healer's license revoked.

The bedroom scenes were not I steamy or detailed as I expected them to be with Nick being an Alpha male but there was definitely some 'rockin' don't come a nockin' moments they just didn't leave me wanting a cold shower.

I really loved Carnal Secrets story line and sub plots, it made for a very busy as well as entertaining read so I really think this particular book in the series is officially my absolute favorite for the series. I also think it deserves the five star rating it will get.

Favorite Quotes

“I’m not pissed at you—although I’ve visualized you sliding down a barbed-wire banister a couple of times.”--Shaya

“Claim me? Now there’s a fucking joke. I’d rather French kiss a goddamn barracuda than mate with you!”--Shaya

I look forward to reading Dark Instincts, the 4th book in the series..

Book's Blurb
A pack Alpha and his estranged, true mate wrestle with painful secrets, ruthless enemies, and their own irresistible attraction, in the sexy third book of the Phoenix Pack series.

Half-shifter Shaya Critchley may hold a submissive role in her pack, but she’s done taking orders. After her Alpha wolf mate refused to claim her—but committed to interfering in her life—she took off. Now she hides from him, posing as a human in a town full of anti-shifter extremist groups. She thinks he’ll never find her again, and that suits her just fine. But she’s wrong.

Nick Axton can barely control his feelings for Shaya, but he could never claim her—not if he truly cares for her. The degenerative brain condition he keeps secret would ultimately leave her with a burden rather than a mate. But when Shaya runs away, Nick can’t bear the thought of never seeing her again. After tracking her down, he discovers Shaya’s feisty and passionate side in the process…a side he’d never seen before.

Under the menacing gazes of territorial local packs and violent human extremists, Nick vows to finally claim the spirited Shaya…and despite her initial resistance, Shaya just might find his fiery determination to be the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Justice gives so much of himself to his people that I am excited that he gets to have love and happiness to. Although there were times I really thought he deserved getting kicked to the curb. And poor Jesse just could catch a break, at every turn her heart was being broken because he just couldn't figure it out. They had some epic go rounds that usually seemed to happen after some seriously hot steamy, blow the roof off sex, so by the time they went the separate ways for the night you were sure if you needed a cold shower or a punching bag.

So now that I have raved about this book that yes I have read twice, hey what can I say, I love these books; but I still need to give this one a rating and after counting all the edits I found I am thankfully happy to announce that I am only subtracting one star from the rating due to edits. The Heating though was off the chart so five flames really aren't enough to cover how hot things got between this couple.

Book Cover Rating
If I could give this cover a heat rating I so would.

Brianna's brother Scott is blind and partially deaf and because of this her dickhead of a dad decides to force her to conceive a child with a man of his choosing in order to get a perfect male heir, how sick is that? When Cole sees Brianna he immediately feels protective of her and refuses to let her leave with her father.

Can you believe that I like this book so much that I have read it five times? Well it's true for some reason this book just really calls out to me and then I just have to read it.

I am not sure if it's the really hot steamy bedroom scenes or that fact that I like seeing an idiot parent decked by his own son. Brianna and Scott have a lot of obstacles and the biggest one is their idiot father. Andrew Wyatt is most definitely a certifiable jack wagon in need of castration and parenting lessons from a jail cell.

Let us not forget the two charming heroes that save Scott and Brianna, you could almost feel the love at first moment for both Cole and Tyler, it was some seriously good writing on Annnarie McKenna's part. They started with blackmailing her into staying providing themselves with a chance to keep her. I am glad it worked out for them and Brianna.

Where to begin with the sister from hell, made me thankful for my sisters that's for sure. That fruit loop didn't roll far from the tree. Sure made me feel like it was coming at them from all directions. Andrew should have learned to either keep it in his pants or how to use a condom.

Overall a really good book with lots of ups and downs to keep some one interested, even though it isn't a paranormal read it is still worth the time to read.
